Taste the food you see on the screen while exploring the power of reconciliation at the world premiere of the anticipated new docu-series, Red Chef Revival.

Presented by Eatable Films and Hot Docs Cinema, the long-neglected culinary tradition Indigenous cuisine is being reclaimed and reinvented by a new guard of chefs from across Canada. Bringing pre-colonial ingredients to the modern table, Six Nations Chef and Top Chef finalist Rich Francis is decolonizing Canadian cuisine, one dish at a time.

Algonquin Chef Cezin Nottaway is proud to use ancestral methods learned from her grandmothers—but with a modern twist. Chopped Canada finalist Shane Chartrand, who didn’t discover his Enoch Cree heritage until his 20s, says that food has given him purpose. At this special three-episode preview, follow these three trailblazing chefs as they visit First Nations communities from the Northwest Territories to British Columbia in a candid journey towards truth and healing.

Admission includes a special menu of appetizer, main, dessert and cocktail created by the award-winning chefs featured in the series. Screening followed by an on-stage discussion with Chefs Shane Chartrand, Rich Francis and Cezin Nottaway.
